BRITISH Heart Foundation (BHF) Cymru Shops are appealing to households across the country to keep donating despite the bad weather.

The extreme conditions have meant people have struggled to get out and take unwanted goods to BHF shops. The charity is now urging people to hold on to goods and donate them when safe to do so.

Stock donations are the lifeblood of BHF Cymru Shops, and last year their stores raised over £15m.

Mike Lucas, Director of Retail, said: “The weather has undoubtedly caused problems over the past week. For those struggling, we can arrange a free collection to ensure unwanted goods are still making it into shops.”
